We deliver...

Our approach

Towards a common goal

Collective intelligence for better business isn’t just our slogan; it’s the philosophy behind everything we do. The strongest solutions arise when everyone collaborates towards a common goal.

This belief is reflected in the way we work and the systems we build. We help unlock the collective intelligence of your business, its people and data, making the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

Solutions unique as your business

We take the time to properly understand the purpose, function and goals of your business from the outset. This lets us select and blend the most appropriate models to suit your needs, based on your preferred ways of working and our experience of delivering similar solutions.

And it lets us all – client, partner and CompanyNet – work collectively to deliver a truly successful project.

People make it happen

We recognise that processes, software and technology are only part of the solution. To make real business change happen, the human element is key.

Through training, support and advice on policy and good governance, we equip your employees with the confidence to embrace IT-led change. This results in higher adoption rates and true ownership of your technology investment.

Our process

Vision and Scope

In the initial stages of your project, we set high-level goals and priorities, create a project overview – including timescales and project phases – and shape these into a roadmap for delivery. We will take great care to understand your requirements and the needs of your users, and collaborate with your team to design a solution that best suits your business needs.

We believe that the formative stages of a project can be the key to the overall success of a solution. We take the time to understand your business, its goals and objectives.

Analysis and Design

During this phase we define and document the solution to make sure it satisfies your requirements. We will begin using prototyping tools to help visualise the project and bring the solution to life. This helps ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards the same outcome.

We believe in working collectively with you towards a common goal. Our expertise plus your knowledge creates a shared understanding of your business, leading to a more useful, widely-adopted solution.

Solution Development

The signed-off solution specification becomes the reference point for building your system. We actively monitor and report on progress during the build and test phase, and provide opportunities for you to take part in build reviews – ensuring your requirements are being met at every step of the way.

Our experienced team will work with you to map out, build and deploy a solution that reveals the collective intelligence of your organisation.

Joint Project Finalisation

Like traditional User Acceptance Testing, our Joint Project Finalisation stage aims to bring the build phase to a close and deliver the final solution. In addition, it places an emphasis on working in close collaboration through any outstanding issues, towards the common goal of signing off a built system that meets every one of your needs.

We work with you to finalise the project and ensure it meets your needs. A training and adoption programme unique to your business is created to ensure successful take-up.

Implementation and Operation

We believe software solutions have a key role in the wider process of business change. After your system is signed off and deployed, we offer a Support and Enhancements Agreement. This lets us continue to work closely with you to ensure the solution evolves to meet the changing needs of your users and business.

Our five-stage engagement process gives you a solution that is low-cost, simple to use and easy to maintain and build on: a system that can evolve as your business grows.
